Chapter 5 - A certain jerk

The next morning, a pitiful cry broke out from the room. Wuu. Why did her body hurt so much and feel like it would break apart?

Aiya. There was no part of Lily that went scot-free. Even her skin was painted with hickeys.

Immediately, Lily cursed at a certain scumbag. Could it be that Zane Ji had infuriatingly tossed her about due to fury?

He's so shameless. How could he take advantage of a drunk woman like that? Lily puffed her cheeks and tried to sit up.

Lily groaned and broke into a sweat while gasping for breath. That shameless man. Zane Ji had really gone too far!

Slowly, Lily made her way toward the bathroom while clinging to a wall. After taking a step, Lily would pause and gasp for air heavily.

Zane Ji was a jerk.

Just how many hours had he vented his frustration on her poor body?

Lily gnashed her teeth together. It was her fault for not making an accurate prediction. She slipped into the bathtub and sighed.

If she hadn't fallen asleep, Zane might have used such fury to throw her out of the mansion instead of letting it out on her body. Now, sigh! Such a wasted opportunity.

By the time Lily stepped out of the bathroom, the pain in her body had reduced—just slightly.

Lily limped toward the closet. She had a plan to visit her parents.

After testing the water and seeing their reactions, she'd come up with a plan on how to make them break the marriage with Zane Ji.

Thinking like this, Lily's eyes lit up. She really couldn't take the attitude of such a pompous jerk like Zane Ji.

Enough is enough.

As soon as Lily opened the closet, her expression cracked and she almost faltered.

The shiny colors that emitted from the closet almost blinded her eyes. What? What the hell was this?

It couldn't be that she had opened the wrong one, could it? What sort of clothes were these?

Lily gritted her teeth and began to go through the shining clothes.

Thinking about it, emulating the cannon fodder's actions could successfully annoy Mr. Ji and make him throw her out. But this type of annoyance could also lead to Lily's death. So, no way.

No wonder Mr. Ji's expression always changed whenever the cannon fodder came to visit. This type of clothes was enough to drive one crazy with color.

Immediately, a thought came to her mind. Lily had to go shopping, or else she might be driven insane.

Suddenly, Lily's phone vibrated, alerting her attention. Lily quickly returned to the bed and picked up her phone.

Immediately, she saw that Agent Rylee had sent her a text.

The content said that Lily should come to the company to sign the movie contract.

Great. Another quick way to get a divorce.

Lily's eyes lit up, and she returned to the closet. After a lot of searching, she finally found a silky blue shirt and a pleated white skirt that fell on her thighs.

Lily's lips widened in a smile, and she took them out. Lily put the clothes on and casually packed her hair in a bun. She picked up a lip gloss and applied it to her lips.

Lily then picked up her bag, car keys, and phone before walking out of the mansion.

Suddenly, a black card lying on the nightstand attracted her attention. Certainly, it could belong to no one other than a certain Zane Ji.

A wicked thought crept into her mind, and she picked it up. Time to go shopping and annoy a certain Zane Ji.

Immediately, Lily turned on the ignition and drove straight for CX Entertainment Company.

CX Entertainment Company was one of the biggest entertainment companies in the country, having several A-list stars and international stars that dominated the entertainment industry.

It was one of the hardest entertainment companies to get into.

However, the term 'hard' might be applied to everyone—but not Lily, because she was on her own when she had attracted one of the biggest agents in the company!

Immediately after Lily arrived at the company, she parked her car and got out of the car.

Lily's arrival immediately attracted several people's attention.

Upon seeing Lily's beautiful face, everyone was stunned with awe, and they began to whisper to themselves.

'Who's this person? Is she a new celebrity? She's so beautiful.'

'Yes. Yes. But when did our company hold an audition? I didn't hear.'

'Me too, but who cares? She looks like a princess. I have to be her friend; she'll definitely have a bright future.'

'Which agent is she under? Do you think one of the top agents in the company? She'll definitely be lucky.'

"Lily?" Agent Rylee, who was making her way into the office, stopped when she sighted Lily.

Hearing this made everyone freeze.

Lily? This was Lily Shen?

Lily Shen—this person was very ugly and annoying, which was miles in contrast from this person who just stepped out of the car. How could it be? Not to mention that annoying perfume of hers that could give one a headache.

Also, weren't there circulating rumors that claimed Lily had left the entertainment industry? Why was she here looking so beautiful and different?

Hearing the voice and seeing the cold and professional look on Agent Rylee's face, Lily immediately recognized her.

Lily gritted her teeth and elegantly catwalked toward Agent Rylee while trying not to reveal her limp and restraining the urge to curse a certain Zane Ji. Lily smiled sweetly. "Good morning, Sister Rylee," she cheerfully said.

Agent Rylee's eyes fell on Lily, completely filled with bewilderment. "You… You look so different." She was so stunned by the complete change that she couldn't help breaking her façade.

Although the first time that Agent Rylee had set eyes on Lily, Lily's beauty and natural grace, filled with superstar charm, had attracted her—

However, a few months later, Agent Rylee had been filled with nothing but regrets, thinking that if only she had evaluated Lily deeply like she had always done with all the stars under her, she wouldn't have had to carry this problem.

There was nothing she hadn't done, but Lily was really good at messing up if she had no interest in it.

Now, seeing this person looking like how she had first seen her made her feel nostalgic and softened her eyes.

A pure and sweet smile appeared on Lily's face, and she twirled with natural charm. She grinned and teased, "Am I beautiful today?" Lily found it interesting to tease Agent Rylee.

Agent Rylee, donning a cold face, reminded Lily of how cold and simple she had always been in her previous life.

Although Lily had always lived a cold and boring life, deep down she also wanted friends and someone to understand her.

Agent Rylee snapped out of her reverie, and her eyes shifted. She said coldly, "Let's go and sign the contract."

How could Lily not understand that Agent Rylee had done it on purpose so she would refuse to answer her question?

Lily hurriedly followed Agent Rylee while shouting behind her, "Sister Rylee, you can't ignore me. Just admitting it won't hurt."

All the people who were present were instantly filled with shock. How could this person look like a completely different person? Lily had always been proud and arrogant and always acted as if she were untouchable. How could she be this person?

Only heaven knows who started it, but Lily's image and video had made their way to the company's secret chat group.

Whenever Lily arrived, everyone tended to avoid her and ignore her due to her strong scent of perfume and the shiny display of color. Who knew that it was this Lily who looked so beautiful and full of grace?

It even made some men's hearts itch. And soon someone was asking if Lily was in a relationship, and if not, who could get her number.

A tall figure strode in and frowned. "Lily. I know you're still hung up on our past, but coming to the company after knowing that I'll be here will pose a bad image for both of us."
